“Wasn’t expecting much but was blown away by the guacamole and chips that we shared before our tacos were made. By far the BEST guacamole I have ever eaten along with perfect homemade chips.All 3 of us loved our taco selections and they even offer to make your tacos with a lettuce wrap instead of flour shell. We will definitely be back for more!??????“
“Ordered again for the holiday. Got the half tray of manicotti and half tray of meatballs. Outstanding as usual. Hot and fresh. Been here many times. And will keep on going. Quiet atmosphere staff is amazing. Never had a thing bad to say about them…“
“We went to celebrate my hubby birthday and it's first time he is trying seafood boil ? and it was best experienced ever, we had crab leg, shrimp,and crawfish with Cajun sauce and that was so yummy..Yanni was very attentive and instructed us nicely, she is helpful as well for us being first timer..over all, we have best celebration“
“Great vibe. Absolutely LOVE the jazz trio. Food tasted great. Portions are quite small for the price, and the steak was very especially grizzly, unfortunately. Very attentive and well trained staff. Lots of push upselling drinks on the drinks, and they brought bottle water we had to pay for despite asking for tap 3 times. Wonderful wine and cocktails menu. Overall I would recommend for special occasions.“
“The service was amazing! Our server Jay went above and beyond what was expected. The onion soup was delicious. The perfect amount of cheese and the perfect saltiness. I ordered the 2 course plat. I had the soup and the beef tenderloin and fries. Delicious. The special dessert of the day was their bourbon bread pudding with butter pecan ice cream. All I can say is Yum!!“
“This place is fantastic!!! The pasta was to die for! The lamb pizza I’ve been thinking about since I’ve eaten it! The only hiccup was that they were short staffed in the kitchen so we were there for a very long time AND my husbands steak was over cooked. They did more than enough to make it right and were very apologetic. The place is very cute and homey inside. PLUS BYOB! We will be back again that’s for sure !“
“Worth the wait and the hype - usually no wait during quieter hours but be sure to reserve during peak times - the food was delicious and fresh, cooked perfectly with a deliciously famous Capt Loui seasoning - be sure to load up on the seafood for extra flavor in the boil, addd garlic noodles and some homemade lemonade for the full experience “
“Certainly! Here's a more concise version:---For over 10 years, this restaurant has been our family's favorite, thanks to the friendly and professional owners who make everyone feel welcome. The food is always fresh, promising an amazing meal every time. Their wine selection is unmatched, truly the best in New Jersey. It's a rare find that continues to impress us with its consistency and quality.“

“Comfortable, casual, but classy atmosphere. The service was very friendly and happy to explain any dishes that we weren't familiar with. The food was amazing! I wish I took more photos. We started with the babaganoush and tablouli salad. My husband had the lamb kebab and I had the chicken kofte. Everything was so flavorful and tender. I have no idea how to spell the dessert we shared, but it was like a non-crunchy creme brulee. SO GOOD, light and refreshing. Highly recommend this place.“
“Lamb chops very tasty with Lemon Potatoes and Vegetables!!!!! Phenomenal!!!! Appetizers were very fresh . Dessert was incredible, we had the Galaktoboureko for the first time ever!!!! Our waiter was very helpful, didn't have to wait long for our food.10/10“
“Wow, a true hidden gem in the heart of Clifton, I've been at hundreds of Italian spots in Jersey and this one is absolutely magic! The rigatoni is homemade in the house, and it definitely shows, I got mine with Cajun chicken and vodka sauce. Melt in your mouth. Delicious! My day got the shrimp Parm, with the homemade rigatoni as well, and he was in love! A full bar I will definitely be back! And a full bar !“
“Amazing service. Food was really good. We had enough for everyone to enjoy and extra to take home/save for later. Special attention and touches with the food made a pleasant statement. Candy bags and extra garlic butter sooooo good. We will definitely order again. Made my daughter birthday celebration/ family night wonderful........“
“I absolutely love this place! From the food, atmosphere and customer service. I have used them twice to cater my baby shower and a recent birthday party. Zinna the owner is super sweet, professional, punctual. She truly wants the customer to be happy and checks in with you. My family and friends loved the food and I will always use them in the future.“
“The meal was perfectly cooked:FlatbreadSalmon (allergy sensitive)LambFilet & lobsterThe service was exceptional, attending to the allergies of my family and ensuring we were all able to enjoy our meals.Deserts were delicious, and left us wanting a little more, portions were small but perfect.Ambiance is little more upscale than average dining.Dietary restrictions: Chef went above and beyond to ensure allergies were catered to.“
“Adam Weiss's talents shine through in every dish on his menu. The combination flavors and unique preparations keep us coming back time after time. Tonight's carrot soup special and arctic char were simply amazing. Adam's cheesecake is still my hands down favorite ever. Hedy is the perfect hostess- we should all have a Mom like her in our corner! So grateful to have this gem in our backyard.“
“I have to say this place is top-notch phenomenal ?. I was here with my family for my birthday and Jon was our server. To start we ordered the wings and Burrata as appetizers OMG delicious. For entrees, we ordered the Tomahawk for my husband and I with hand-cut fries and brussel sprouts and my daughter ordered the Boneless Ribeye with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Every single dish tasted like homemade. For dessert, we had the Tres leches and Tiramisu. Tres leches wasn't too sweet and Tiramisu was on point. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a delicious steak.????? stars in my book ?“
“Yes and Yes again! To begin, when I walked in everyone said hello. I was unsure of what I wanted and even a bit annoying if I am honest. The gentleman answered all my questions and made suggestions.The food...grilled chicken....amazing...juicy, well seasoned and cleaned...will return and recommend.“
“The food was super fresh and so tasty. I think we were there shortly before closing but the few tables that were also dining at the same time were also served quickly. My family ordered three different entrees and shared. We were really happy with our meals- everything was super fresh, the use of veggies and sauces really elevated the taste and quality of the seafood being used. The staff was very friendly and the place had a comfortable feel.“
“I attended a group dinner here at the end of January. While the food was amazing, I was most appreciative of the service. We were made to feel special and it really helped to elevate the experience. And I haven't stopped thinking about the parmesan cauliflower bites - so good!!!“
“The lobster bisque in a bread bowl was delicious. I don't know where they get their bread bowls but mine was perfect. Warm and crusty on the outside but soft and yummy on the inside.The mocktails are new since our last visit and the mojito was the best I've had so far at a restaurant. I also had the kale caesar salad with blackened grouper which I really enjoyed.“
“JOVAN is the BEST SERVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE HIM A RAISE NOW! Not now, but, RIGHT NOW!!!!? HIS SERVICE WAS A MILLION OUT OF 10! Me & my girls will DEFINITELY be back!!!!❤️ THANK YOU JOVAN!!!!Parking: We found a park RIGHT IN FRONT“
“Walk into Basque country, enjoy wonderful food experiences and atmosphere. A special place- a gem hidden in the Ironbound, where you are transported into a culinary adventure to be shared with family and friends. A formal restaurant and lively soccer bar, enjoy both and La Liga matches surrounded by true aficionados who regular there. After your first visit, there remains a constant call to return and repeat the same, again and again and again..... Enjoy“
“Great filet mignon - waiter said it comes with string bean but nothing on the side just steak with truffle sauce. Was a hearty portion and cooked perfectly. Not cheap expect to pay 70+ just for steak but quality was perfect. Wines weren’t that expensive. I’d go back to try their prime rib. In comparison Ruth Chris charges a little less for steak but upsells the wines.“
“We celebrated a birthday party with a group of 12 people. It was our first time visiting Basil. The service and food is AMAZING! The variety of food (Thai to Indian) as well as Vegan options were perfect. We have few ppl with severe allergies and we had zero issues. We highly recommend it.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Allergies“
“Although I experienced a wait of about 40 minutes on a bustling Saturday, the exceptional dining experience that followed made it well worth the delay. From the moment I stepped inside only experienced good things.Our server Leo was knowledgeable, attentive and made great recommendations. The appetizer was amazing, can’t remember the name but will attach a photo. The entries were cooked to perfection I ordered Ensalada de la casa con churrascoFilete de pescado con cangrejo y vegetales.The flavor were bold and authentic, and the portions were generous. I found the price very decent. Top-notch service, exceptional cuisine, and cleanliness - Rumba Cubana truly deserves a 5-star rating. Can't wait to come back!"“
“First time at this Restaurant and we were greeted right away with a friendly hello. It seems like an average Chinese restaurant. They do make Hibachi style food here as well.We ordered Mumbo sauce wings and Honey/Old Bay sauce wings. They both were delicious! The fried shrimp was breaded and cooked to perfection! The added cocktail and tarter sauces on the side was appeasing to the pallet as well!We also had the fried rice (which contains eggs) and that was ok.The prices on their Menu is very reasonable! You get alot of food for your money.We did have to wait some time for our order and it did start to get a little busy when we were waiting, but all in all, it was worth the wait!Check out Hi Good Stuff in Clifton! It is a MUST try!!We will be returning here again to try their Boil Seafood Bags that they have!???“
“Absolutely the best seafood around here. Only 11 tables, so need a reservation. Service is very friendly and I never felt rushed. A BYOB which is great. It is a seafood shop as well so atmosphere is nothing fancy. My favorite place for seafood!“
“Attended a end of season party for my sons wrestling team in the party room. There was ample space for all of us, the staff and manager/owner was exceptionally kind, friendly and accomodating. The food was delicious. I would definitely come back with my family for a meal or host an event from this restaurant.Parking: The lot forms a semi circle around the restaurant, there was plenty of parking for all the event guest plus whatever regulars dine there.Kid-friendliness: It was a kid event so there were kids all over the place being kids and having fun. No one reprimanded the children for noise or rambunctiousness. It was alot of fun for the children.“
“Great Easter Dinner! Best service ever. Menu is very extensive with plenty of options on top of the day specials. Ambiance is great. I'll for sure return to Lithos very soon to try out other menu items I have in mind. Must experience this for yourself!“
“I have been passing by this small restaurant for the past 4 years and wanting to try it out. Finally I went and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised that the small restaurant, which doesn’t look like much from the outside has amazing Mediterranean Turkish food. I was very impressed. Everything was fresh And delicious. This is definitely gem in the ruff . The restaurant is very welcoming and comfi . It’s a family business, and Adam was very helpful and pleasant as a waiter and he told me that his family owns the business. They take a lot of pride in the food that they serve. Also the price for what I paid for lunch was a great deal I got a Shepherds salad. Chicken kebab with rice, and another grain called Bulgar. they also gave me on the house a Turkish custard, which was very delicious. The lunch also comes with a soda. This is a must try hotspot, especially for lunch. I will definitely be back to eat the delicious Turkish food.“
“Our server was out standing. Everyone was so suggestive and kind. They went above and beyond for my daughters birthday and we will certainly be returning!!Kid-friendliness: I mean above and beyond service for my daughters birthday!! Not only that our server was so sweet to our kids and genuinely listen to them!!“

“This place has the best Indian cuisine in town! Definitely worth it. Jami is so helpful and patient when I’m trying to order takeout. Jami and the other staff are always so kind to answer any questions I have about certain dishes and food items. I hope to try the lunch buffet sometime soon— there’s many delicious meals to choose from. I usually order Vegetable Samosas, Paneer Masala with Basmati Rice and Garlic Tandoori Naan.

For Valentine’s Day they included a heart-shaped balloon and a rose! The personal touch is much appreciated, and it’s the cherry on top of the food that was already super tasty.“
“Absolutely DELICIOUS! The flavor is out of this world! I got the grilled branzino fish with salad, tahini, and rice. The fish was fried to perfection with the most rich flavor of amazing spices. Service was also awesome—everyone was so kind and helpful in helping me decide what to order. They recommended this dish and I am so happy they did! Will be back soon to try the other dishes (like the orata fish!)! Thank you so much! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!“

“My wife and I are serial Axton Take-out folks... we finally made it a point to dine-in and it couldn't have been better. Francesca made us feel as if we were dining at my home town in Italy and the food was amazing. She is the best. Most experienced waitresses in the industry. Would recommend Axton's to anyone. As a matter a fact I sent my grandparents here (off the boat) and they loved it. If you can impress an Italian with Italian food... you WIN!! Love Axton's !!Parking: Plenty of parking“
“First time ordering from this place and I will definitely be back. I created my own bowl and order the sliced cucumber salad. Both food items were so tasty and affordable. For Next time, I look forward to trying the Kani tots, that people have spoken so highly of.“
“I just had the best experience at Q'tal! Our server was so attentive but also gave us space to talk and catch up. She was so kind and everything she recommended was delicious. I highly recommend the jackfruit croquettes and the sliders which I love that they have vegan options for someone like me. I'm not sure of the name it was a passionfruit cosmo type drink and I didn't even realize it came out with a dry ice bubble. 10/10 for presentation on everything and ambiance. They have a dining area which feels a little more formal ( the chairs were so comfy by the way) and then a bar area with high tops which I think would be great for a girls night. I already can't wait to go back!“
“My go to place on the way to the city for the weekend! I hate showing up hungry and looking for somewhere to get a quick bite before a late dinner. Biggie's is perfect for what I needed. The food is consistently good. Had the lobster roll and it was fantastic. Great drinks, you definitely get your money's worth too.. All around yes!“
“Well, where shall I start. I was introduced to this place a few years ago. And let me just tell you it has become one of my favorite places to eat. I will find any excuse to go and eat the fried shrimp. Perhaps I should keep that my secret lol. This place is delicious and the service is just as good. Whatever you are celebrating or not... This is a great place to do it. See you soon!Parking: There are designated parking spots in the lot as well as street parking.“
“Adega Grill is our go-to for special occasions: graduation, birthday, anniversary, etc! The seafood platter is a treat for me and my family of 4! There's enough food for all of us! Tomahawk is a must try, especially to steak lovers out there! Don't forget to order a glass or pitcher of sangria!“
“Bartenders were great. The food seemed a little more processed than I remember it. It's a chain, so you have to account for that, but I seem to remember it being a little more flavorful.One exception; all the bang-bang stuff (shrimp, of course, but also had vegetable) continues to be spot on!“
“I am excited to share my dining experience at The Thistle with you! The warmth and kindness of the hostess created a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere from the moment I arrived. It was refreshing to be greeted with such genuine hospitality, making dinner even more enjoyable. I immediately ordered exactly what I had been craving for. THE ORIGINAL THISTLE FISH & CHIPS! Satisfying my craving was precisely what I was aiming for. Perfection in a delightful crispy batter, paired with golden "chips" fries, tater sauce and coleslaw. [Don't be shy to ask for more tartar sauce.] It's a BYOB spot, so don't forget your favorite bottle of wine or beer, which goes great with fish! I'll be sure to bring a bottle the next time I go. Can't wait to go back.“
“The food, staff, and environment was amazing. By far the best hook and reel location. The drinks are perfectly made, the food is cooked to perfection, and the staff are super helpful and make this dining experience 10 times better. The staff are quick to attend you and are attentive. I would’ve gave this place 10 stars if i could.“
“Had dinner here last night. Delicious, innovative menu. Try the crispy duck crostini, duck fat patatas bravado. Everything we had was great.And our server, Melissa, could not have been more helpful.Highly recommended (as are, reservations - this place is popular and gets busy).And, it’s BYOB!“
“Amazing place....the lobster tank impressive. The waiters were cute and friendly. All you can eat shrimp ? friday all day was delicious. With a Mango Mohito and mint...drink I left alittle tipsy. A definite 5 stars. Will definitely come again...a must try for all seafood lovers!!!“
“First time dining here and we were pleasantly surprised with the variety of dining options and specials. The pre-fixe choices (6 oz File, penne vodka) were both great and reasonably priced for all the food you receive. Desserts (Chocolate Mousse Pie and Tiramisu) were quite delicious! The wine selections are also good. We had very attentive service and friendly attention, without being overbearing. We would recommend and go back!“
